Registering to Vote

New! You can submit a voter registration application or update your voter information online.
Just click on the button to get started. Or scroll down for more information about registering to vote.

We hope that everyone who is eligible to vote will consider it both a privilege and a responsibility.

If you aren't already registered in Florida, you must register at least 29 days before an election to vote in that election.

You are eligible to register to vote in Florida if:

you are a citizen of the United States of America

you are a Florida resident

you are at least 18 years old (you may pre-register to vote at the age of 16, but you cannot vote until you are 18 years old)

you have not been adjudicated mentally incapacitated with respect to voting in Florida or any other state

you have not been convicted of a felony, or have been convicted of a felony and had your voting rights restored

On January 8, the Voting Restoration Amendment went into effect, restoring the voting rights of Floridians with felony convictions after they complete all terms of their sentence including parole and probation. The amendment does not apply to those convicted fo murder or sexual offienses. If you have questions about whether your voting rights have been restored, please review this document. ​

Please note: Florida has a very broad public records law. Voter registration applications and other written communications to or from the Supervisor of Elections are public records and are available to the public and media upon request unless the information is subject to a specific statutory exemption. Email addresses are also public records. If you do not want your email address released in response to a public records request, please contact us by mail or phone, or visit us in person. To request public records, contact the communications department by emailing voter@hcsoe.org or calling (813) 744-5900.
